"Kung Pao-sama, have you figured it out?" Yang Du and Wang Xitong almost spoke in unison.

Both of them were incredulous, but Ruan Zhongshu knew that Yuan Shikai's sudden change of mind must have something to do with Xu Shichang's letter.

Yuan Shikai nodded and took the letter back from Ruan Zhongshu's hand. The envelope was open, and Yuan Shikai took out the letter and handed it to Yang Du.

When Yang Du read it, Wang Xitong leaned over to look at it, only to see Yuan Shikai's letter written: "Under the fate, I am ashamed. Fu Nian received the grace of the country, and he was ashamed to report it; My emperor's heir has won the treasure record, and he has been blessed with grace and honor.

"In vain to raise the scabies in the township, I failed to drive myself, read the edict, and increased my gratitude. At this time of difficulty, we should abide by the decree and go to the opportunity quickly; However, the minister used to suffer from foot disease, and he has not recovered so far, and he took his left arm again in the winter, and he suffered severe pain from time to time. This coefficient is a chronic illness for many years, and it is urgent to hope for a cure.

"However, although the gas is declining, the spirit is not yet faint. Near-inbred autumn cold, phlegm and asthma for fever, dizziness and palpitations, trance. Although it is not something that can be cured overnight, but it is a symptom, and it is easier to treat the old disease.

"Now that the military is urgent, how dare you ask for a reward? But the difficult situation is really difficult to support. The medical treatment has been extended to speed up the treatment, while preparing for the arrangement, once a little support, that is, when the force is sick, the answer is high and generous in case. ”

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Give someone a taste of their own medicine! You say that I have a foot disease and let me go home to recuperate, but I can't be edicted because of my foot disease. Yang Du couldn't stop praising it.

Yuan Shikai asked Ruan Zhongshu: "What if our regent asks about my foot disease?" What do you want to say? Brother Loyalt. ”

"I said I couldn't even walk." Ruan Zhongshu didn't even think about it.

Yuan Shikai shook his head, "Brother Zhongshu, you have to say this: I really don't see anything about foot disease, it's just that people have become disheartened, as if they have seen through the red dust. The so-called fame and fortune have become a thing of the past. ”

Yang Du said: "In other words, it's not that Lord Gongbao doesn't want to go out of the mountain, but he wants some conditions. ”

"Am I the girl who comes and goes when he beckons?" Yuan Shikai said angrily.

After speaking, he took out another sealed letter and handed it to Ruan Zhongshu, "This secret letter is handed over to Prince Qing." ”

Yuan Shikai wrote some words of gratitude to Dai De in a letter to Yixuan, and then changed the conversation and said: "The Hubei army has completely changed, and there will be few reinforcements from all walks of life. For Lord Yinchang's department, Yu only has the right to dispatch together, what can it be used? ……”

Next, the conditions were put forward as follows: "If there are no soldiers and no salary, how can we do things, it is planned to continue to prepare for the direct subordination, and the reserve army will mobilize more than 10,000 people, organize and train the 24th and 5th battalions, and go to Hubei for the purpose of suppressing and appeasing them." It is proposed to ask the branch to allocate three or four million taels of silver in advance to prepare for military salaries and various urgent needs. and asked the Military Advisory Office, the War Department not to be restrained by the scriptures. …… Do everything every day, and do your best. ”

Ruan Zhongshu and Yang Du walked on the front foot, and Yin Chang arrived on the back foot.

He was passing by here, and came to see Yuan Shikai by the way, he didn't know that the imperial court was going to use Yuan Shikai, he had never led troops to fight, and he still didn't have a base in his heart, so he wanted Yuan Shikai to ask for some ideas here.

Yuan Shikai heard that his family reported Yinchang's visit, and immediately pretended to be sick.

Yin Chang, the fifth floor of the word, later changed to the word noon building, Manchuria is the white flag people,

In his early years, he was a student of Guozi Supervisor.

In the 11th year of Tongzhi (1872), he entered the German Museum in the Tongwen Museum in Beijing.

In the third year of Guangxu (1877), he served as the third-class interpreter of the embassy in Berlin.

In the tenth year of Guangxu (1884), he entered the German military school to study military operation technology for one year, and during his study in Germany, he was in the same class as Kaiser Wilhelm II, who was the crown prince at the time, and established a deep personal relationship. After graduation, he was sent to escort ** back to China and handed over to the Beiyang New Army.

In the 11th year of Guangxu (1885), he served as the translator of the Beiyang Martial Arts Academy, succeeded the Taoist, and was promoted to the superintendent, assistant and general office of the Martial Arts Academy.

In the 25th year of Guangxu (1899), due to the German occupation of Jiaozhou Bay, Yinchang was ordered to select talents proficient in German for translation. In the winter of the same year, he assisted in negotiations with Germany on road and mine matters.

When Yuan Shikai was training at the small station, he asked Yinchang to recommend talents. Yin Chang has a unique eye and recommended Duan Qirui, Feng Guozhang, Wang Shizhen, and Liang Huadian.

In March of the 26th year of Guangxu (1900), he was transferred to the military affairs of Zuozan in Shandong, and under the command of Yuan Shikai, the governor of Shandong at that time, he served as the deputy commander and participated in the suppression of the Boxers. On 22 March, Yuan Shikai commissioned him to negotiate with Sibale, the general office of the Huade Railway Company, and the German army officer Budler, to discuss the 28 articles of the railway charter, which were formally signed on the same day. At the same time, it signed the "Articles of Association of Shandong Huade Mining Company" with Mi Haili, the general office of Shandong Mining Company in Germany.

In March of the twenty-seventh year of Guangxu (1901), he was awarded the title of deputy commander of the Han Army under the White Banner, and in July, the Qing Dynasty. The government sent Prince Zaifeng as a first-class envoy to Germany to express his 'regret' for Klinder's death. He also ordered Zhang Yi, a former cabinet attendant, and Yinchang, the deputy capital of the government, to 'go with him and counsel everything'." In the same year, he was appointed Minister to Germany, and then to the Netherlands. Later, he was sent to Germany as a minister with the title of squire, and his term of office expired in December of the 30th year of Guangxu (1904), and the Qing court ordered him to stay in office.

Recalled in September of the 31st year of Guangxu (1905), he was appointed as the governor of Jiangbei with the title of deputy commander of the White Banner Army and the head of the military department, and then served as the right head of the Ministry of War and the governor of Jiangbei.

In August of the 32nd year of Xu (1906), he was appointed secretary of the Ministry of the Army, changed to the Minister of the Army, and trained the ministers of various towns in.

In September of the 34th year of Guangxu (1908), he was re-appointed as the Minister of Mission in Germany.

In the spring of the second year of Xuantong (1910), he was awarded the secretary of the Ministry of the Army, and in the summer, he was relieved of his post as minister of the Imperial Mission and returned to Japan to perform his duties, and concurrently trained the ministers of the Army towns, and was promoted to the Minister of War at the end of the same year.

In the third year of Xuantong (1911), a new cabinet system was promulgated, and Jiao Chang became the Minister of War.

Yin Chang has a very good relationship with Yuan Shikai, and he admires Yuan Shikai very much, and later he has been following Yuan Shikai and is in a high position.

He went to Yuan Shikai's ward and greeted him first, and Yuan Shikai also pretended to be very moved and said some words of thanks.

Speaking of the Wuchang war, Yin Chang said: "Wuchang is a rabble, no one presides over it, and it is not difficult to extinguish." ……”

He said a lot, but Yuan Shikai didn't answer, just shook his head vigorously.

Yin Chang asked him what he thought, but he still shook his head and didn't answer, and asked again and again, before Yuan Shikai said: "Lord Yin, listen to me, the matter of Wuchang is by no means as simple as you think." Who said that no one in Wuchang presided over it, isn't there Li Yuanhong? That's one of those who can write and fight. I have heard that this person has a very high prestige in the army, and he should also be good at using soldiers. ”

Yin Chang asked how to fight Wuchang's battle? Yuan Shikai said six words: "Don't act rashly." ”

Yin Chang wanted to know why he did this, Yuan Shikai looked very mysterious, looking like a heavenly secret that could not be leaked, and said that he only needed to remember these words. Can it be said that the Wuchang war was pacified early, and what happened to him Yuan Shikai? If you talk too much, when Yin Chang says it casually, it may bring him trouble.

"Don't act rashly", these words can be understood however you want, in the words that everyone often says - there is nothing wrong with it.

Yes, "don't act rashly", these words can be understood no matter how you interpret them, but Yin Chang understands the essentials expressed by Yuan Shikai in it, and he is worried about the slow progress.

Yuan Shikai's six-character proverb made Yin Chang, who did not know how to fight, like a treasure. In his later military operations, he carried out the implementation to the letter, which made the Qing court more and more passive, thus helping Yuan Shikai a lot.

When Yin Chang came this time, he originally wanted to ask Yuan Shikai to say hello to his old subordinates in Beiyang, but thinking that he was the commander of the three armies, he asked a person who was idle at home to help, but he finally couldn't say it.

After Yin Chang left, Yuan Shikai wrote another letter to Yixuan on the 16th, which meant that he really didn't mean to make things difficult for anyone, and it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and the things he asked for were the least problems that had to be solved.

He urged Yi Xuan that these things should be handled as soon as possible.

After Ruan Zhongshu went back, he met Yixuan first, and showed him the letters written by Yuan Shikai to him and to Zaifeng.

After reading it, Yixuan asked Ruan Zhongshu to send the letter to Zaifeng immediately.

Originally, after the edict to Yuan Shikai was written and sent away, Zaifeng regretted it again. After hesitating for a while, he saw that it was too late to recover the time, so he had no choice but to give up.

After seeing Yuan Shikai's letter, he was relieved. I thought, you people all let Yuan Shikai be used, I used it, Yuan Shikai refused to go out of the mountain, what can I do, now I can have an explanation.

casually asked about Yuan Shikai's situation, especially about Yuan Shikai's foot disease. Ruan Zhongshu learned Yuan Shikai's words. Zaifeng tasted the product and felt that the taste was wrong. After reading Yuan Shikai's letter carefully, Yuan Shikai's willingness to use it became more firm.

Zaifeng asked someone to invite Yi Liang and showed Yuan Shikai's letter to Yi Xuan, who had already read it and pretended to read it again.

After reading it, Zaifeng asked him what he thought?

Yixuan said: Yuan Shikai is not an excuse to shirk, he has a hard time. This can only further show that Yuan Shikai is a person who does things, and he is also bent on getting things done.

Zaifeng asked why Yixuan said that?

Yixuan said, the matter is clear, do you let him be the governor of Huguang with his bare hands? What did he do?

"Didn't you say that all the troops in Hubei and the reinforcements from the provinces were under his control?"

"Is there still an army in Hubei? Reinforcements, who saw the reinforcements? Can someone go for reinforcements? The dispute over the right of way has left the neighboring provinces all too busy to take care of themselves. ”

"What then?"

Zaifeng understood it and felt that Yixuan's words made sense.

Yixuan then turned Yuan Shikai's request into his own opinion and told Zaifeng.

Zaifeng didn't say anything, but wrote on Yuan Shikai's letter: "Now that the time is tight in Wuchang and Hankou, the governor Feng is impartial and loyal, and has the courage to do things." Immediately adjust the treatment, force the disease, and use the deputy court to rely on the will. ”

has already called Yuan Shikai "the governor". However, he did not pay attention to what Yixuan proposed to do right now.
